In the interval 0° ≤ θ ≤ 360°, how many values of θ satisfy the equation
a)1
b)2
c)3
d)4
Factor the left side:
Use the zero-factor principle:
Since the tangent is positive in the first and third quadrants,
there are two angles between 0° and 360° that have 2 as their
tangent. These are 63.43° and 243.43° approximately
Continuing with the zero-factor principle:
Again, since the tangent is positive in the first and third quadrants,
there are two angles between 0° and 360° that have 1 as their
tangent. These are 45° and 225° exactly.
So the answer is d)4
